There is a lot of great stuff about this series:
When it says "Based on the hit TV series", it means it. Last year when I was on summer vacation, I was watching a first season episode of Sailor Moon that was the first episode in this novel, I thought I was wasting my time watching it. The novel episode of it is so much better. It's more funny and great. And each novel includes 6 things:
#1 action
#2 adventure
#3 romance
#4 comedy
#5 fun
#6 These novels include the japanese episodes.

And because of that fact and the fact that these novel episodes of Sailor Moon are so much better then the anime episodes, I own all eight of them!
This is a series that was actually made for young adults.It's not like the Harry potter books, but the stories are great.
And ya know the fact that this book has a total misprint of the cover, and in a add for tokyopop books in the back of the first Sailor Moon comic they showed the first novel and the cover was the same picture that was on the back of the first comic!!
In the first novel episode:
A fake Tuxedo Mask writes love letters to all the eighth grade girls in hopes that he will find Sailor Moon.
In the second novel episode {a japanese episode}:
Serena, Amy, Raye, and Luna go to the beach and soon knows a ghost exists there!!!
In the second novel episode:
A girl working on the Sailor V movie has been possesed and has stopped being friend with her friend!! Will they become friends again? Buy this book and see.
Oh, by the way, you know the fact that this writer[ who I think is great for what she does]mentions stuff that exist in real life and some of that stuff doesn't fit Serena, I ALWAYS thought they went along with her!!!!! And that's one of the reasons why I like this series so much.

Have you ever thought you had good loyal friends that would stick with you through fire and ice? Well, if you did, think again! Have your friends ever reached their arms out to save you while you where dangling over a black blob of absolutely nothing? Well Serena got that help from her friends Amy Raye. These girls deserve a vacation! Raye is a good friend, she scheduled for a stay at a beach house! Nothing could possibly go wrong, except for the fact the beach house is a spooky old mansion, the doors man is a Frankenstein look alike, the maid is the Wicked Witch of the west's identical twin, and the super experienced, super hero's have to ask a little girl for help fighting a ghost that doesn't even belong to the Negaverse! Anyone who says they are a true and loyal fan of the Sailor Scouts would follow Sailor Moon and her friends in their exciting adventures. This book, Cel Mates by Lyanne Sentar, is one of a set of seven. But wait, there's more to come, if you can, or maybe you can't wait for Diamonds aren't Forever, the eight novel of the set.

Well, I have Venus, as Sailor V on the cover. But what I don't like is the author adds in stuff not on the show. She adds in groups in America, like the Backstreet Boys and stuff like that. I want to be an author and I know that sort of stuff dates a book. I think she should keep to the show more.

I bought the book with Sailor V.on the cover and I liked it. I did find that the author puts stuff about Baskin Robins & the Backstreet Boys in there. Why do they have to do that? Also why in the world is RINI on the cover! The book is about a Sailor V. movie. NOT RINI! So why put her on the cover? I have the whole set of books but when is the new one going to come out? I was able to read the book in about two days. I LOVED the series!!! Great for Sailor Moon fans!

I think it isn't worth buying. It's nothing like the dub or the original version. And the Serena in this book just doesn't seem like the Serena or Usagi(original version) you would see on the anime show. I just couldn't really imagine her liking things like Backstreet boys or saying, "Oh my God!" a lot. She's not like the Serena(Usagi) I have always known. Plus, there are parts that just go on forever and parts that just weren't in the show. In my opinion, I just don't think these books are really that great.

I also have the Sailor V cover, and Sailor Venus also happens to be my fave character. What's this about different covers? About the book: I thought it was OK....again too romantic (scenes that were hyped up from TV and scenes that weren't even on the show) but it was overall a good book. The only problem I have with books in this series is the reading level...4th grade. I am an 8th grader and I feel kinda stupid reading at such an easy level.....but beggars can't be choosers.

My niece loves these books, and has voraciously read them all. I've had a hard time getting her to read, but these books seem to have done the trick. They are closely related to the cartoon series that's on TV now, and she tells me that she actually likes the books BETTER than the TV show!

First, before I say anything about the book... the cover has a picture of Sailor V on it, not Sailor Moon and Chibi-usa(Rini). Now about the book. This book is about the episodes where Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask are stuck in an elevator-the episode where Neflite dies. The problem with this book is that the author tries to cram too many adjectives into the sentences. She makes Usagi a total airhead, and half the stuff she puts in the book did NOT exist in 1992, when Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon came out! The book seems really fake, especially if you read the manga.
